A supportive creative space
JewishCare offers small Art Therapy groups for people experiencing distress, stress or feeling overwhelmed. Creative expression offers another way to explore thoughts and emotions that are difficult to put into words.
PROGRAMMES & SUPPORT
Art Therapy
Sometimes words are not enough. And that is okay. Explore difficult feelings through drawing, painting and making.
About this support
Work at your own pace
The programme creates space for expressing emotions, self-awareness, confidence and exploring complex feelings. It is about the experience and what it means to you, rather than artistic skill or making something beautiful.
Settle in, make and reflect
Sessions begin with a gentle check-in. The therapist offers materials suited to how you are feeling. There is time to make art and, where helpful, reflect on it. Sessions close with insights and strategies; journaling between sessions may be encouraged.
Your questions, answered
Do I need to be good at art?
No. No experience, talent or artistic ability is needed. Art Therapy uses creative expression, rather than judging skill or a finished artwork.
Who can benefit?
The source groups welcome people experiencing distress, stress or overwhelm. A formal diagnosis or referral is not required. Speak with the team about fit and current arrangements.
What does a session look like?
A check-in, materials chosen for your needs, time for art-making and optional reflection, then insights and strategies to take away. Journaling between sessions may also be encouraged.
What should I do when I arrive?
A calm space with comfortable chairs gives you time to sit, breathe and settle before the session. There is no rush.
Should I bring art materials?
No. Paints, paper and other craft materials are provided.
